Well Thanks SKY. Nice review first of all, just like the GTX295 one, you covered each and every aspect of it. Well well well.. it seems like a nice card really, performing next to the GTX 295 in most benches and tests and does have a small advantage over the GTX 280. It beats out the 4870 X2 is lots of benches/games.

I wonder what the price will be, but if they can keep it on the down low, like the GTX 295 is already over $500, they should keep this one more under it. In fact, they should let this card replace the GTX280 I think..

Did we read the same review? Only time I saw the 4870X2 lose was in nVidia stronghold games like Dead Space, and in the odd low resolution in others. Sure in a couple select cases the GTX 285 beat it out, but those are the same cases as always with the GTX 280.

Overall the GTX 285 was good, but its not in the 4870X2/GTX 295 leagues either, the 4870X2 and GTX 295 came out on top in 9/10 of the benches.

Actualy guys...I would buy this particular GTX 285 over a GTX 295 or HD 4870 X2 due to the fact that it won't have its hands tied if there isn't a dual GPU profile written for a certain newly-released game.

Dam your too quick for me. I added this info into my last post but now it makes more sense as a reply to your, well, reply.

Don't get me wrong the prospect of having a single GPU almost hitting the speeds of a SLi/CF-X'ed solution has it merits. It allows you to avoid the pitfalls of CF/SLi, while maintaining almost all the speed, but lets not kid ourselves, the GTX 295/4870X2 still hold the crown in most games.

The GTX 285 is a great solution for those who would like to avoid any CF/SLi headaches/pitfalls.
